Landon Writes His Own Speeches Says Secretary
Governor Alf M Landon writes his own speeches using long yellow paper and a time saving abbreviation system. Carl Rott, his secretary, says no one else around him drafts his remarks. Landon sometimes had experts read their points but he ends up writing or approving the final text.
